'''Warner Music | '''Warner Music Vision''' (also known as '''Warner Vision International''') was a music video company formed in 1990 by Warner Music Group to make music videos from artists and bands on WMG's labels and to release them on home video and later DVD. In 2006, the company merged with DVD producer The Rights Company to form '''Warner Music Entertainment'''. It was later transformed into a film, television and content studio in 2019. | ||

'''Visuals:''' At the beginning, there is a starfield with stars shooting forward. Then, two small stars shoot out from opposite sides of the screen and collide with each other, forming a white sphere with clouds of gas swirling around it that zooms up toward the screen. Some smaller white spheres also orbit around the larger one, and {{color|red}} 3D asteroids shoot toward the camera. When the sphere disappears, the Warner Bros. logo (in white) used from 1972-1984 ("The Big \\'") appears. The "W" has a stretched world map printed on its side, and it revolves around and zooms toward the camera. When it zooms close enough, it turns to face the camera and zooms out while the words | |||
<center><big>WARNER<br>M U S I C<br>V I S I O N</big></center> | |||
zoom out from the bottom of the screen and arrange themselves below the "W". Simultaneously, the screen fades to {{color|blue}} (or black). | |||
'''Variants:''' | |||
* For international distribution and on non-music releases like ''South Park'', <u>"VISION INTERNATIONAL"</u> would sometimes appear in place of "MUSIC VISION". | |||
* Prior to <u>1996</u>, a short version exists, starting with the logo spinning horizontally. Then the animation continues as normal. | |||
* A still in-credit version also exists, which is used for <u>''Oscar's Orchestra''</u>. | |||
* A unique variant also exists on <u>Australian VHS releases</u>, where the logo already fades to the finished result, but with "{{font|Arial|WARNER VISION AUSTRALIA}}" under it. | |||
* On <u>Malaysian VHS releases</u>, the text is smaller and now reads "{{font|Arial|<b>WARNER MUSIC MALAYSIA</b>}}". The Warner Bros. logo also has a shadow. | |||
'''Technique:''' CGI. | |||
'''Audio:''' A new age tune with synths, percussion, a choir and a bass riff. | |||
'''Audio Variant:''' The <u>short version</u> uses a sci-fi sounding tune with synth horns. | |||
'''Availability:''' | |||
